"6!- PAEE a Defense & Big Busmess That defense is “big business" and that Canada is getting a fat share of this business is the theme of an almost jubilant editorial in the current issue of the Toronto Financial Post. Our exports of do- fense equipment to the United States last. year, we are told, were \\'nl‘ll’l $250 million—nearly double what they sold us. “This.” says The Post, “is a success story worth con- sidering. It has meant employment for thousands of highly skilled Can- adinns, the sort of people we must keep in Canada if we are to stay in the technological race." For this reason. The Post takes a dim view of what it calls “the pop- ular sport of damning the Penta- gon." Few Canadians realize, it says. just what concession Washington extended under the production shar- ing agreement. Ours is the only foreign industry that doesn't face the “Buy American" regulations. ‘The agreement was badly buf- feted last fall, adds our Toronto contemporary, when Ottawa refused to go on the alert during the Cuban crisis. It was “almost wrecked by Diefenbaker's attacks on defense ar- rangements during the last elec- tion.” But it survived. Now it is un- der attack from the L'.S. industrial groups who want all the available work for their own hard-pressed defense complex, but “in the new atmosphere following the Pearson- Kennedy talks. the prospects for continuing—even expanding—t h e agreement look good." This is I disturbing editorial. Most Canadians agree that in the present state of world affairs peace is something that must be defended with modern armaments. Most Can- adians. however. are hoping that there will be a steady improve- ment in world relations and a Cor- . responding progress in world dis- armament. Armaments—even the kind which give employment to thousands of highly skilled technic ians—are at best a necessary evil. They are not an export to be gloated silver, or cited as I major factor in [hoping defense policy, however profitable the turnover. Platiludinously Speaking “In the first Speech from the Throne to come from its pen," writes Arthur Blaker in the Montreal Gazette. "the Liberal Government headed by Prime Minister Lester Pearson made an imprmsive show od devotion to deep and abiding principles." What he means by this in that the Speech was sprinkled lib- erally with platitudes though he prefers to call them, ironically, “larger declarations of belief. intent or faith.” What, for example. can be said of the times in which we live? Thee. In (to quote the Speech) "times M great change throughout the world.” Anything else? These In “times that not old virtues." Yet Again. they are "times that open up new oppl’nhnitios.” W'hIt has happened to familiar min "ids." What .of the path we " was. an the pan “Mm: old um wan to u” Mora us? "the where? ‘Nsw paths thIt will land in surely forward.” As Canadians. how should we work? “As Canadians, we can work with hope." Has our country I his- tory'.’ “Our country has a proud history." What opportunities are open to us? "Now there are expand- ing opportunities open to us." How may they be utilized? "They de- pend on our overcoming serious problems." Should these be over- come. what should we achieve? "We will achieve the better life that is within our power.“ Better life for whom? “For ourselves and for our children." How. then. must these serious problems be approached 7 They must be approached "only with courage and perseverance and hard wor ." To whom should we attribute our prom“! “Our progress is the work of all the people." On Wham must the responsibility rest? “In I free country. we are all responsible." What will the government contri- bute? "The government, through its policies. will contribute the leader- ship, the purpose, the decision." What leadership. purpose and decis- ion? “The leadership. the purpose. the decision that are its responsibil- ities to the people." And so forth. For some reason. laments The Gazette writer. this aspect of Throne Speeches has been largely ignored by reporters and commentators. This is all the more regrettable since all governments polish their high-flown declarations with a loving care not always lavished on simple, straight. forward policy pronouncements! Toward A DisasIer A powerful editorial on the ter- rorist activities in Montreal appear. ed recently in the City's leadng French-language daily, La Presse, In which the question is asked: Is it really possible that these ter- rorists have reached such a point of thoughtlessness that they do not even consider the terrible conse. quencea of their actions? "Unfortunately. no." says La Presse editor. "They themselves have undertaken to inform us on this matter in each or their state- ments. in advance, they have taken the responsibility for ‘possible ac— cidenbs’. They depict Is ‘reg'l'ei’ table’ but ‘inevitable' the deaths that they might cause and which they justify in their own eyes (claiming to do so in ours, too) by the ‘sacred' character of the cause they are defending. We have before us a deaf and blind fanaticism that does not reason and refuses to un- derstand everything . . . “We would like to think that these dynamiters are men, show them the torn flesh of their victims. appeal to their conscience first and then to their reason. This violence that they find so heroic—i! they could only stop for I few seconds to understand the lamentable futility of it! How can it be anything but evident to them that such r. mur- demua and destructive mess can do nothing to help them get what they want 7" “Police impotence and the half- heartedness of those 'who refuse to believe that it is really serious'. are leading us all rapidly toward a dis- aster. at the very moment w h I n French Canada could be marching toward better days.“ Words of sanity, which it is to be hoped will at least inspire the police to greater efform in curbing the outbreaks before they reach more appalling proportions. EDITORIAL NOTES The nestest compliment of the new Parliament has been turned out by NDP Leader Douglas, according to In Ottawa commentator. He said that when he heard. Miss Pauline Jewett (Lib.. Northumberland) ex- tolling the beauty and charm of her constituency he thought her con- constituents could argue with equal force about the beauty and charm of ita member. o u o Hunger and malnutrition ll’l u rge n t problems throughout the underdeveloped countries and de— mand an immediate increase in food Iupply.
